Progress Analysis with SKF in PS

This document is to briefly explain the way progress of a project/wbs in terms of POC is calculated
when planning is performed based on SKF. There is no detail business scenario as this document is
mainly to see the steps involved in using the SKF to check the progress of a project.
1. Create SKF
Transactions : KK01/02/03

Here, the SKF category 'Fixed Value' is used. Usually Fixed value is used when the SKF does not change very
often, as in the case of number of employees, area etc. The rest of the document will consider the fixed value
type of SKF.
2. POC customizing
Transaction : SPRO
PS customzing path for progress analysis

Here, both the planned and actual measurement method has been taken as : MEG_QUANT.
4. Posting Planned and Actual SKF
Planning SKF on WBS
If the SKF is defined is a Fixed category, then the value of the key figure entered in one month
will be used for the remainder of the fiscal year.
If the SKF is defined as a Total category, then the value of the key figure entered in one month
will be used in one particular month and not the following ones.
In our case SKF - 1304 is Fixed value.
Transactions to plan & distribute SKF values on WBS: CJS2/ CJS3.
SKF can be planned in CJ20n also on activities & WBS.
Transactions to plan & distribute SKF values on network: CJK2/ CJK3.

POC =

Planned/Actual Quantity
Overall Planned Quantity

* 100

POC Actual = 50/100 * 100 = 50.

POC Planned = 100/100 * 100 = 100

The actual and planned SKF values above are the average values across all the periods.
Actual = 50+50+50+50+50+50 / 12 = 300 /12 = 25.
Planned = 100+ 100 /12 = 200/12 = 16.6667
